Rwanda is known throughout the world mostly for its recent genocide and war, in which nearly 1,000,000 of Rwanda's 8,000,000 people were killed in 100 days from April to July 1994. (To read how a 79-year-old grandmother saved 100 people during the genocide, click here)

As a result of this tragedy and the persistence of the HIV/AIDS epidemic throughout sub-Saharan Africa, an estimated 10 per cent of the total population in Rwanda is orphaned.
